from 124 reviewsExcellent book, quick delivery
I have ordered from Books About Art several times now. Every time I’ve ordered the books have arrived promptly and in great condition. The choice on the website has been fantastic and I have enjoyed discovering some wonderful books that I haven’t seen elsewhere. This has become my first stop for great art books and the newsletter has been brilliant at recommending new titles.
Excellent quality books,quick delivery.
Will definitely be buying more.
Many thanks
Excellent book
Quick delivery
Great service and great selection of books at great prices!
Very well packaged and protected, parcel arrived that quickly I didn't remember what it was :) Would certainly buy from Books About Art again.
Great selection of books and great prices.
Brilliant all round
I love my book and had a wonderful experience with this company. Great selection of books, excellent customer service and quick shipping. Will definitely order again. Thank you!
I had a great experience with Books about art. I managed to get a range of beautiful coffee table books for a very reasonable price. Delivery and service was quick and efficient.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very fast shipping from a reputable courier with tracking and very well packed as requested, which was particularly important given the rarity of the signed book. Book exactly as described and as shown in the photos. I’d happily order again with confidence.
Great books! Fast delivery! I am enjoying reading all the classics I got on Architecture!
I love this site. The books are great, the pricing is unmatched, and the delivery is always prompt. There is nothing more that could be expected.
Cannot fault the quality of the three books I purchased, or the service, which was very prompt. I've only recently discovered Books About Art, and it's a great site for browsing owing to some really interesting titles that I wouldn't normally look for. Also good discounts ... hence I purchased two more books than intended. Will be back for more!
Excellent books! Great packaging and speedy delivery too.
